Fortnite: Avengers Infinity War mashup patch notes – how to play as Thanos

Epic Games has teamed up with Marvel for a limited-time Avengers crossover where you get to play as everyone’s favourite blue mass murderer, Thanos.

In the mode, a meteor will land in the safe zone early in the match, delivering the Infinity Gauntlet. The player who secures it will transform into Thanos and gain his powers.

If Thanos is killed, the gauntlet will drop to the ground and another player will be free to pick it up. If the meteor sits untouched for too long, it will respawn elsewhere. As always, the last player standing takes the victory royale.

Of course, this being Fortnite, that’s just the barbeque sauce on top of the bacon sandwich, as there are a whole host of other changes being introduced. Strap in for all the changes.

Fortnite – Limited Time Infinity Gauntlet patch notes

Thanos Abilities

Ability 1 – A mighty punch that knocks enemies back and destroys structures.

Ability 2 – Thanos flies towards the ground, hitting an area for knockback and damage.

Ability 3 – Harness the energy of the Power stone to fire a blast that deals damage over time.

Ability 4 – A super-jump that can vault Thanos over all but the largest obstructions.

Thanos has both shields and health. When he eliminates another player, his shields regenerate. His health never regenerates.

Thanos doesn’t take fall damage.

Thanos does not build, use weapons or things like launch pads. He has no need for such petty human devices.

Storm + Map

Maximum match length is roughly 15 minutes.

The match will start with the storm circle already closing in over the island.

The storm does more damage than normal, ticking for 5% health during the first circle and 10% for the rest of the game.
